I Love How Expressive They Made All The Characters This Time Around! Especially The Little Sad Smile

I love how expressive they made all the characters this time around! Especially the little sad smile Cayde gives us after he says, "don't ever forget that."

Ikora: it's pride month, guardian. You know what to do.

Bubo (confused bi warlock): what?? Do you want me to like, kiss you?? What??

My biggest gripe with the Final Shape was the lack of Ikora's ghost, Ophiuchus. I know he is a very quiet ghost and he and Ikora don't have the best relationship (they had a period where they didn't talk for a good 61 years and there is a lore entry this season where Ophiuchus thinks about how he and Ikora are still very much important to each other but not friends like they used to be).

I feel like maybe this could have been a good point for them to reconnect a bit of what they've lost over the years. Like, Ophiuchus also has been around for centuries, seen some messed up things during the dark age, seen the creation of the city, watched Ikora grow from a new light to a crucible main to one of the most important warlocks ever, seen the arrival of the black fleet, etc, etc. And we know from the lore that he is a ghost who thinks a lot and has a lot of personal theories, like the connection between ghosts and guardians that he told Sagira about. It would have been fun to see his reaction to the pale heart. Or to see his reaction to the loss of Targe. Perhaps it was a point in which Ikora tells Ophiuchus how much he means to her, even if they've had many differences and fights over the years.

I know Bungie doesn't like adding too many characters into narrative at once, which I totally understand, but this felt like a time for at least a little bit of dialogue between Ikora and Ophiuchus.

I've been using the one dawning ship for years (I am a not big fan of the ship designs in D2 so I stick with the one. Plus, since ships are super hard to come by in lore, I think the YW sticks with one, but probably has a backup one), so when I saw it crashed, I was kinda upset that my favorite ship was gone.

Saladin in IB: Show me a new legend!

Bubo: Bro, I killed the Witness.
